Making pottery includes an essence of art, physics, chemistry and many other things. The pottery will turned out differently depending on these various components. The piece could break up easily because of a small thing you did during the process. You can tell the difference whether the piece was made with passion and feeling or if the piece was made as just an item for practical use.
